Shantelle

SHANTELLE Made of stone, Shantelle - a tower. Castille of knightly breeding, she causes a coward to cower or a headstone as one’s marquee. Marble robes of nobility - curves like pert Kanagawa wave. Shantelle’s immortal legacy, her character - Mount Fuji brave. Jutting cliff of Collinsport, Maine - widow’s stone jaw, the mortal sees, as the tide twirls her skirt, she reigns over their blasphemous pleas. Château Lafleur in stone goblet. “À votre santé,” to your health. Loves her people with no regret. Shantelle bows down - restores their wealth. 2/24/2020 Shantelle Poetry Contest Sponsor: Julia Ward *The Great Wave Off Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai - art **Château Lafleur - a fine wine ***À votre santé - to your health
